Introduction Introduction • Super II 4
Introduction For many counting or weighing applications, the Super II default settings are adequate and the scale can be used just as it comes from the factory. However, often the scale performance can be enhanced or operation simplified if the factory settings are changed, or if some of the more specialized features are enabled.
Prompting Macros The scale’s display can prompt a user through a series of steps for repetitive tasks. The macros are easily written using this manual and the Super II controller. They can consist of up to 100 individual steps and can be written in some foreign languages or industry jargon, if desired. The macros help to simplify scale operation for novice or untrained operators by providing one-button operation.
TRANSAC SETUP Activate and choose the fields to record in the transaction log, print the transaction log or transfer to a computer, and clear the transaction log. ID NAME SETUP Change the names of the ID fields. MACRO SETUP Program up to ten macros (a series of scale operation steps) along with customizable prompts. SETUP SECURTY Program password protection for the Supervisor menus BEEPER Allows the beeper to be disabled.
ALARMS Configure and enable/disable the digital output alarms. DIG INP Set up the controller for control by outside equipment. SETUP SECURTY Program password protection for the Technical and Bases Menu. HYSTERS Set up display hysteresis for more stable display.

Soft Key: ALARMS Setting Up the Alarm Outputs The controller has three digital alarm outputs that can be used to control an external system. The alarm output pins are located in the OUT port. The state of the alarm is based on the weight of the scale relative to the set points (see the SETPOINTS soft key in the USER’S MANUAL). The alarm pins are held at either Ø volts (LO) or 5 volts (HI). There are three set points that the operator can program: Low, Target and High.
When the alarms are disabled, all the outputs are set to their zero weight states. When the alarms are enabled they follow the chart shown on the ALARM OUTPUTS screen where LO indicates that the alarm pin will be 0 volts relative to ground and HI indicates 5 volts. Thus, on the display shown below, when the weight is between the TARGET and HIGH set points the output of ALARM1 is HI, ALARM 2 is HI, and ALARM 3 is LO. Use the soft keys to enable and disable the alarms.
Press the LEVEL soft key to set the behavior of the alarm in a particular region.

Soft Key: HYSTERS Improving Display Stability DISPLAY HYSTERESIS Display hysteresis refers to the function which prevents the apparent “jumpiness” of a display that is toggling between two weight readings. For example, if a weight is equal to 235.65 grams on a display set to be read by .1 grams, the display may have trouble settling between 235.6 and 235.7. Display hysteresis will prevent any changes to the display that are less than 1 displayed increment.
Technical Setup Menu: Soft Key APW QTY APW QTY MODE 1 Technical Setup MODE 2 • Super II MODE 3 SET NO.
Soft Key: APW QTY Changing the APW Quantity Feature The APW quantity feature is used to change the storage method of the APW. Normally, the APW, or Average Piece Weight, represents the average weight of a single piece. Using the APW Quantity feature, the APW can be made to represent the weight of a number of pieces. Thus, if the need is to count dozens of pieces, set the APW quantity to 12 and the APW displayed and printed will be the weight of a dozen pieces.
The following screen and soft keys will be displayed: Select APW Quantity mode or set pieces: 1) APW Single Piece Mode 2) APW Quantity Mode 3) APW Variable Quantity Mode MODE 1 MODE 2 MODE 3 SET NO. PIECES GO BACK Select the APW quantity mode desired using the MODE 1, MODE 2, or MODE 3 soft keys. Press the SET NO. PIECES soft key to display the following screen and soft keys: Either select a predefined APW quantity from the soft keys or enter a custom APW quantity using the numeric keypad and press enter.
Appendix A RS232 Serial Port Communications The Super II comes equipped with three RS232 ports. They are labelled BI, for a “bi-directional” port for PC or computer communications, OUT for an “output” port for a printer, and IN for an “input” port for a bar code scanner. Users who have purchased Setra’s peripherals such as the Dymo SETRA 300 printer or the Setra SmartWand can simply plug these devices into the appropriate port and start using them.
Sending Commands to the Scale All functions which exist on the keyboard may also be accessed by a computer or a terminal by means of the RS232 interface. Simply send the ASCII character which corresponds to a function.
Never include a carriage return or line feed in any command sequence. The scale uses any command character as a terminator for an input string. For example, to enter a tare weight of 1000 (in the units currently being displayed), simply send “1000T”. This will enter the number 1000 into the TARE register. To enter an average piece weight of 12.35, send “12.35A”. Sending Alphanumer ic ID #s to the Scale Alphanumeric identification information (ID#s) may be entered into the scale through the RS232 interface.
Receiving Data From the Scale Using the Immediate Print Mode The immediate print command “#” causes the scale to transmit whatever number or message appears in the scale display. The value is formatted as shown below: +/- 1 2 3 4 5 6 . c0 c1 c2 c3 CR LF The first six digits represent the number field. A + or - sign always precedes a weight reading, and a decimal point is always transmitted, though their exact location depends on the number transmitted.
“c3” is the “stability” character. This character corresponds to the “OK” symbol on the display. CHARACTER (space) MEANING Reading is not stable S O Reading is stable Reading is over the base capacity U Reading is under the base capacity The immediate print output is always terminated with a carriage return and line feed.
To use the Jump Function, send an nJ to the scale, where “J” is the Jump function command and “n” is the unit code. The units code ranges from 0 to 7 as shown: Units Code 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Unit User programmable unit (default GRAINS) GRAMS OZ (ounces) LBS (pounds) TROY (troy ounces) DWT (pennyweights) CARATS KG Do not send any number other than 0-7. For example, to enter an average piece weight of 0.23456 grams from a computer, send “1J0.23456A”. The “1J” sets the scale for operation in grams. The “0.
The RS232 Interface Hardware Although Setra scales can communicate with almost any RS232 device, the built-in interface does not include the complete protocol. Only the transmit and receive lines of the standard interface are used on the OUT and IN ports respectively, and the transmit, receive, RTS and CTS lines on the BI port.
Appendix B ScriptCoderTM Custom Label Printing Your Super II scale can be programmed to print custom label designs on any serial printer, limited only by the printer’s capabilities. This feature, called ScriptCoder™, allows a label design or RS232 output, to be written using a series of codes which are stored in the scale’s memory. The set of codes, or script, is executed each time the specific label design is selected to print.
To produce the ASCII output below, enter the following script by using the numeric keypad followed by the CODE soft key for each code. For alphanumeric characters, enter a single character and press the ENTER key. To look up the numeric code associated with each character or scale function, refer to the tables on page 116 through 120. Part #: 123-456 APW: +2.
